Ett varumärkesrättsligt skydd är ofta något som företag arbetar hårt för att uppnå. I vissa fall kan ett varumärke anses ha ett ekonomiskt värde i sig. Den tekniska utvecklingen har medfört ett förändrat samhällsklimat där individer getts ett allt större utrymme att utrycka sig. Ett förhållandevis nytt fenomen är influencers – personer som via internetplattformar använder sin egen person för att mA trademark protection is often something that companies work hard for.

Analogisk överföring undersöktes hos förskolebarn (24 månader till 55 månader) med en faktoriell tvärsnittsdesign. Analogisk överföring testades direkt efter inlärning eller ett dygn senare med en visuo-spatial uppgift. Vidare testades de kognitiva förmågorna arbetsminne, inhibering, självreglering och verbal intelligens. Studiens hypoteser var att fler barn skulle klara den direkta överföringen äAnalogical transfer was studied in preschool children (24 months to 55 months) with a factorial cross sectional design. Analogical transfer was tested directly after learning and one day later, using a visuospatial task. The cognitive abilities working memory, inhibition, self-regulation and verbal intelligence was assessed. The hypotheses were that more children would pass the direct condition th

Functional assessment of SAMD9/SAMD9L proteins in cell cycle progression Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are one of the most neoplasms resulting in defective generation of blood cells. Chromosomal abnormalities are common in MDS, with deletions of chromosome 5 being the most common aberration adult patients while deletions of chromosome 7 are most common in childhood MDS.

Despite the large quantity of studies done on the field of leadership and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), current literature lacks the link between these two topics and very little research has actually been done to examine the relationship between leadership styles and management within SMEs operating in Sweden. Taking into account the relevance of this research topic, this thesis aims

Even though Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History were written almost fifty years apart, they share many similarities. They are both forms of academic novels and they both depict the University and College as places excluded from the surrounding world where the characters can act out their desires in their adolescent years before they enter adulthood. In both nov

Due to the expected knowledge of the management, actively managed equity funds are expected to have a competitive performance compared to the market. To investigate this expectation, two portfolios of American and German equity funds are examined for their performance compared to their respective markets. With monthly gross and net returns, both gross and net performances are analysed. For the per

Urvalet bestod av sex kvinnor mellaThe purpose of this study was to examine 1) what the participants in the study experience as facilitating as well as obstructing regarding the practicing of self-compassion, and in which way they experience that these factors affect the practice, and 2) which effects the participants experience from practicing self-compassion as well as how they experience that the practice leads to these effects.

Denna studie utreder omfattningen på den inverkan ekonomiska muskler inom elitklubbar i den svenska fotbollen har på sportsliga resultat. Med utgångspunkt från det stora utrymme ekonomin idag har inom elitfotbollsklubbar utarbetas en bivariat och en multivariat regression, vilka har till syfte att påvisa skillnader mellan lag hemmahörande i olika kommuner med skilda förutsättningar. Regressionen hThis study investigates to what extent the economic muscles within professional Swedish football clubs affect the sports performance. Using the fact that economy today takes a great space of the elite football operation as starting point, a bivariate and multivariate regression including different Dummy-variables is developed. The purpose is to demonstrate differences among various municipalities

The Swedish Model is a somewhat vague concept that can mean many things, depending on who you ask. But usually it is characterized by the great deal of autonomy the labour market organizations enjoy. Traditionally, the unions and the employer associations in question are responsible for the functioning of the labour market (e.g. the wage formation), with none or very little involvement from the st

Following the peace treaty between Sweden and the regency of Algiers in 1729, the first Swedish consulate was established in this city.

Yet, the accelerated expansion of these crops has led to many socio- environmental conflicts on the production sites. Some civil society organizations have promoted the introduction of s

Nanoplastens påverkan sänks av preventivmedel Alla har vi hört om tvåkönade fiskar som har knaprat de preventivmedel vi spolat ut i haven, och mer och mer information kommer om hur de enorma mängder plast vi använder tar sig ut i naturen och hur de sedan bryts ned till partiklar som är mindre än våra egna mänskliga celler. Information finns till viss mån om den individuella påverkan av dessa föroExposure of combined pollutants is as of today not a very well-researched field of environmental science due to the complex interactions that may occur. Nanoplastic particles (NP) in particular are lacking studies due to the relatively new interest in the subject. In this study, a small experiment in a lab environment was performed that observed the combined effects of polysterene NP and 17α-ethin
